Disability rates in Roman armies
#7
Quote:Out of 296 soldiers present in the fort... 10 suffering from eye disease.

This is slightly off-topic, but I have always thought that Galen mentions eye problems a lot. Perhaps it was a common problem - here more than 3% of the soldiers suffered from it. I wonder if sitting in smoke-filled rooms without proper ventilation could be blamed.
